Tire Pressure (If Applicable)
WARNING
Under any circumstance do not exceed manufacturer’s recommended psi.
Equal tire pressure should be maintained at all times. Excessive pressure
when seating beads may cause tire/rim assembly to burst with force
sufficient to cause serious injury. Refer to sidewall of tire for recommended
pressure.
The tires are over-inflated for shipping purposes. Check the tire pressure before
operating the snow blower. Refer to the tire side wall for tire manufacturer’s
recommended psi and deflate (or inflate) the tires as necessary.
NOTE: Equal tire pressure is to be maintained at all times for performance purposes.
Adjustments
Skid Shoes
The snow blower skid shoes are adjusted at the factory to be approx 1/8” below
the bottom surface of the shave plate. Adjust them downward, if desired, prior to
operating the snow blower.
CAUTION
It is not recommended that you operate this snow blower on gravel as
it can easily pick up and throw loose gravel, causing personal injury or
damage to the snow blower and surrounding property.
• For close snow removal on a smooth surface, raise skid shoes higher on the
auger housing. Refer to Figure 45.
• Use a middle or lower position when the area to be cleared is uneven, such as
a gravel driveway.
NOTE: If you choose to operate the snow blower on a gravel surface, keep the
skid shoes in position for maximum clearance between the ground and the
shave plate.
